...Death brings out Life You never fully recover from a hard loss. I mean, I guess all loss is rough but when its your father, I feel like its just a tad harder. I will never be able to get my old life back. Back when I was carefree, happy and on top of the world. But one night can change everything. I don’t like to talk about but if I don’t, I will probably have a huge burden on my heart (at least thats what my mom says). So of course it was a rainy day like every other cliche death, of course we were driving, and of course I was the driver. Long story short, I was driving too fast, swerved, and hydroplaned off of the road. The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital with my mom crying over me. There was so much commotion and the only memorable part was the fact that all of the nurses kept saying that we should be happy that my father died instantly. Because that is definitely something that I should be happy about! Does it sound like I am bitter? Do I sound mad? Thats probably because I am! Being in the hospital was the easy part. Going back home and even back to school was the worst part. It was like the whole town was watching my family’s every move. Then I realized that my mom blamed me for everything. She never came right out and said it, but I just knew. I couldn’t forgive myself. I left my mom without a husband and my younger sister without a father. I ruined all of our lives and it killed me inside. Even my Grandma told me that I was the cause of his...

...Images bring life of lost Amazon tribe into sharp relief Q: What do you understand about the Amazon Tribes and the issues it faces? From this extract, we understand several things about the Amazon Tribes and the issue it faces. Firstly, we discover that the tribe is ‘isolated.’ The word ‘isolated’ implies that the tribe has no contact with the outside world. In the next paragraph, we learn that the tribes are also self-sufficient as they are able to grow their own crops for food such as ‘maize, sweet potato, pumpkins, bananas and peanuts.’ This implies that despite the lack of resources these people were provided in the Amazon Rainforest, they have the skills to be able to craft their own supplies such as food in order to survive. In addition, we also learn that, like any other societies in the world, the Amazon tribe has their own unique culture. We learn that the men of the tribes wear ‘cotton waistbands and some have headdresses.’ Not only does this show that these tribes have their own unique traditions as previously mentioned, but it can also indicate that there are different hierarchy levels in the tribe. We get the impression that the ones that wear ‘headdresses’ are the chief or main leader of the tribe and the others are just normal members of the tribe. Similarly in the English society, our queen wears the crown to symbolize her status. Furthermore, one of the issues faced by the Amazon tribe is the fact that there is a chance of the tribe being captured again...

...Power of Poetry Blog Poetry is such a powerful thing that can bring anything to life using figurative language. In the following three poems the authors bring winter to life in three different ways. Winter can be brutal and miserable, in the poem by Robert service “The Cremation of Sam Mcgee” winter is deadly. Hating the cold , Sam wants to be cremated before “the cursed cold, [has] got right hold, till [sam] [is] chilled clean through to the bone”(line 22).

People cannot live if their bones are frozen when service says “chilled clean through...

...Definition Work-Life Conflict is the conflict that is faced by an individual who is engaged to several different roles in life at the same time (Anon., n.d.) . For example a father of two children is also a finance manager at work , a shareholder of a small café and also an active member in Christian fellowship . An individual who is engaged to several different roles in life will eventually faces work-life conflict due to the pressure of balancing the needs of each role in life and the work an individual has , had strongly affect his/her personal life in several ways (Anon., n.d.) . Work-life conflict is a common problem to adults all this while , the only difference from this century compare to the old days would be , now both parents have work-life conflict , no longer happening to man only ( who is known to be the sole breadwinner in the house ) . There are two different types of work-life conflict , the first type would be life interfering with our work , which brings the meaning of our personal life issues that brings effect to our performance at work (Floyd, 2010) .

...People often question what will happen once life ends. Some believe they will go to heaven, while others believe they will simply decompose; nevertheless, one common thread amongst these questions is if one will ever find the meaning of life. David Eagleman, in his book Sum, explores and sheds light on various possibilities of the afterlife, through which he criticizes the society of today (human condition). Eagleman writes in a forthright tone, which then shifts into a more reflective and critical one as he reaches the climax of each “tale” or vignette in order to effectively bring into perspective the “here and now” of life. Eagleman structures Sum as a collection of vignettes in order to leave space for ambiguity. This ambiguity, in turn, is what brings about the reflections upon the human condition as well as the criticisms on society. For instance, Eagleman, in his vignette “Subjunctive,” brings forward the idea that in the afterlife, one will “not be judged against other people, but rather against oneself” (104). He states that the better or more accomplished versions of one will be everywhere to remind one of certain aspects of life in which they failed, or did not reach their highest potential; while the lesser versions of one will also be there to inspire some degree of haughtiness. Nevertheless, Eagleman does not specifically state which version one will end up being in said afterlife, nor does he bring about this idea to be condescending toward the reader. On the...

...1) In everyday life, work is still at the center of things; along with love, it is the most important element of a satisfying and happy life. In ordinary life, the ideal of “meaningful work,” or work that has sufficient scope for self-direction, complexity, and consequential effects to support pride and a sense of purpose, is more relevant than ever. Few still believe that a different economic and political order can bring a fundamental improvement to the human condition. Good purposes and fulfilling activities are hard to specify impersonally in any case and any attempt to do so would insult individuals’ freedom to define such things for themselves. In this view, no single ideal of meaningful work could cover the variety of individual tastes and inclinations, nor accommodate the remarkable ability of people to invest their work with meaning even when the work has little to offer in the way of variety, authority, complexity, or social standing. 2) 1) In everyday life, work is still at the center of things; along with love, it is the most important element of a satisfying and happy life.

...Moral Course of Action Life is a box of chocolates, there are simple and harder decisions as a human being that we must all make eventually through out life. There is the ethical humanitarian in us that must decide from right or wrong. It’s different for every single human being knowing making a decision based on your culture, believes and so on. In this spefic case presented there can be bias and of course not wrong or right answer since we are all different and think differently. Based on the ethical theory presented and the moral course of action, the best and foremost reasonable theory applied to this case will be we are all humans no matter the age, gestational stage or any other situation regarding that matter. In this case the way I analyze this it will fall and be utilitarianism that means all the right things are done based on the benefit of the rest of the community. In this case, it might seem like the babies don’t have a chance based on their condition and that society should just let the consequentialism theory go by, however, it’s more likely and the most moral theory that society itself will be more relatively conscious to is the benefit it can bring by keeping the infants alive. From a point of view of the humanitarian being we are is that any life as importance no matter the situation they are in, however, utilitarianism is more likely to think, what will be the good of keeping them alive and how they will benefit s a whole and society. The chances of...

...was happening around the world in past decades. It causes cities to have more labourers and resources than before. This makes a big contribution to the social development of cities. Thanks to these social developments, public services are becoming better in these areas. Citizens can enjoy a better life by access these public services such as better medical care, more education resources and well-built transport. It means an equitable society can be created. An equitable society means citizens can have more opportunities to access social resources and to live a better life. This essay will argue that urbanisation builds an equitable society. The reasons for this will include more career opportunities for citizens and higher life quality. Urbanisation can bring same opportunities to citizens to get financial security, which provided by career achievement. Job achievement not only leads financial support of daily life but also leads a better life standard. Firstly, people can access education resources more easily and this enables them to acquire more job skills. Thongyou et al. (2014, p. 36) state that one of the most positive impacts of urbanisation is it brings more education opportunities to young people in rural areas because of more convenient transportation to the city where vocational colleges and universities are located. From this evidence, it can be seen that due to the high population growth, more convenient transport were built. These young people...

...around one thing: money. Money makes and defines society, however it is debated wether or not that much influence has a positive or negative effect. Money however, is not the key to a happy and prosperous life. People and experiences influence ones life much more than money ever could. Money creates a sense of importance and a constant comparison to everyone around. Although money can bring forth many glamorous things to someone's life, this does not influence the phycological well being of a person, therefore money is not happiness. Money does not directly buy happiness, it simply distracts one from their true source of happiness. In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s speech, titled “The Drum Major Instinct”, King goes into detail about how when people obtain money, it creates a sense of entitlement and an “I'm better than him” mind set. Money leads to a constant comparison of people to themselves. Even back in the 1950s when the Civil Right movement was stirring in America, people used money as a way to compare themselves to the less fortunate. Money was an object used to wave in another's face to attempt to get a reaction....

...think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion." Change is inevitable in life. Everything around us is changing with the passage of time. Each individual get a change to bring a change in his life. Some welcome it with a smile as a challenge while other refute it and stick to their stereo type routines. The people who are in favor of bringing changes in their life argue that change is very important to break the monotony of life. They further argue that an order to swiftly excel in your career and financial status, change is inevitable. All the advancements in technology have been achieved through bringing a change. From the marketing point of view, in order to boost the sale of a product, the best way is to bring the changes in the shape and specifications. So change, such as in your company or professional status, brings the diversity, flexibility and financial growth in the life on an individual. On the contrary, those who are not in favour of changing their lives, feel satisfied in their current circumstances. They feel that in order to grow in their own profession and to gain a high position in their career, it is important to be consistent with their current job. They argue that to build a strong relationship one may need patience rather than giving up easily and moving on. So as per them, life is the name of stability and persistence and as a result they opt for that. In my personal opinion change is the law of...

...perspective on life will provide people with happiness. In addition, people can bring others happiness. For instance, people who have supportive family and friends tend to be happier. Additionally, people find happiness in religion. Some people are happy when they have a connection to a higher power. Therefore, people will have happier lives if they interact with supportive people and focus on positivity. Happiness is living a delightful life that is filled with joy. Happiness is having a fulfilled life. According to Madhu S. Mohanty, author and researcher of “What Determines Happiness?

...Education that is significant to life nurtures integrated human beings and not success seeking ones. My intention in writing this paper is not to accomplish another academic goal. I write with feeling for you and me and the world around us. I feel deeply about us changing who we are and the world we live in. I believe in the power of transformation that we can bring about in ourselves as humanity. Our transformation begins with honest self-knowledge. You and I need to get to know our selves. You and I are not separate. We are one. We can understand each other if we start by simply accepting and knowing each of individual selves. When we do that, we naturally extend to understand each other and the world around us. We then begin to see our integration and deep connection with all of life. This sense of integration, of being one, leads to all rightly compassionate action. Compassionate action ends the chaos, confusion and violence we live with today. You and I as adults, have to do this hard work on our own. However, that does not need to be the case for our children. I believe that there is a kind of education that can nurture self-aware, integrated beings. This kind of education is significant to life and deeply connected with natural living. It is in contrast with mainstream education that is disconnected from real living. In this paper, I claim that our current mainstream education approach is aimed at bringing about success but that success is not the fulfilling end result...
